Field Notes

Habitat:

Breeding habitats include mangrove cays on coral reefs, and deciduous trees and bushes on dry islands. Feeding range while breeding includes shallow water within lagoons, coral reefs, and deep ocean out of sight of land. Ranges along coasts and offshore islands and out at sea.

Notes:

Very challenging to take a decent photo of these guys with the equipment I have, they fly so "frigate" high!
